In this video I talk about junk silver in 2024 and if it is still worth it to be stacking junk silver. If you are wondering what junk silver is then this is the video for you. Junk silver is US Mint half dollars, quarters, and dimes that are from 1964 or older. $1 Face Value (circulated) of junk silver = .715 Troy Ounces and $1.40 Face Value = about 1 Troy Ounce. Junk silver coins are not being minted anymore and can be in high demand. Currently junk silver coins have relatively low premiums although they still may be higher than that of generic bullion. Premiums on junk silver coins were much higher after covid but have gone down recently. I think that it is wise to be stacking junk silver because it can be used for barter. My favorite type of junk silver is the mercury dime. Check out my Mercury dime search below:

I love junk silver. When I was a young kid I loved the silver half dollars. One of them would buy a coke, three big candy bars and I would have a silver quarter left over. I felt like I had a lot of wealth just to have them in my hands. Great memories

In the 1960s and 70s my parents owned 2 laundries as their second source of income. We would go every Wednesday and Sunday nights to "rob" the machines and clean everything. Washers and dryers took quarters and dispensers took dimes. My father taught me about silver coins and my pay for rolling all of the coins was to keep the silver. At age 68, I still have every quarter and dime I earned for rolling probably thousands of coins.

Hey SD, I still have heartburn with constitutional silver. 90% coins (junk silver) should be sold at no more than spot. I can, we can, they can say the coins aren't being minted anymore which is a valid argument. But, beware, your LCS will give you less than spot for it. So buy as close to spot as possible and hold on to it for long term. Happy Stacking all.

I grew up in the 1960's. Just think back at all of the opportunities for stacking back then. Well at 5,6,7 years old I was not thinking of such things. The money went into the cheap metal safe that every kid had. When you had enough, you put it in rolls and traded it for paper. When I got 500 bucks of birthday money, I deposited it all and got my 1964 D five coin mint SMS set. Yes they used to give you a choice of gifts for opening or adding to your saving account. I still have that set. It is just beautiful without a nick or mark on any of the coins. They came in the Whitman plastic hard case of course. The quarter looks like a cameo PR70.

Second story. I was a the credit union changing out coins for cash. I'm friendly with the teller and we were talking about constitution silver. She made sure I understood before I cashed in. (I do). She told me about an elderly lady who came in to cash coins from years ago. The machine wasn't taking it. The teller told her about the silver content and to see a coin shop to cash it in. Neither she or I ever found out how that turned out. I hope the old lady was able to get a lot more for the coins than what she thought.

I like the junk because it can be kept in a trunk. No need for tubes or cases. Just throw is in a tin or some empty vases. It's already dirty, it's already scratched. There ain't no need for keeping it wrapped. So go on and buy some and then buy some more. Buy it 'til you need extra support for the floor. A gallon of gas was twenty-five cents in '73 and junk a silver quarter buys a gallon today if you please.🙂

I inherited coins from my family. We’ve lived on the same land for around two centuries and in the northeast for four centuries. I ended up with a dusty old bag of coins. My family kept cash and coin on hand for the lean times. I a bunch of constitutional silver. Some of it pretty old. Along with pennies and Large cents. I had a grungy piece of copper that I thought someone threw in from an old piece of machinery or something. Got to looking at it and realized it had something unintelligible on it. I cleaned it according to sources and discovered an 1803 Large Cent underneath the grime. I’ve been stacking silver and gold of my own for a bit, but never got the Constitutional Coinage bug until I inherited these. Have been mulling collecting some more. I like it for the historical and numismatic value more, I think. It’s just really cool to hold history in your hand. I’m not sold on the bartering idea. I stack the bullion for savings and it’s turned into a decent investment. Now I have the coin bug. Thanks for your videos. I’ve learned a lot.

pro tip, if you like using the canvas bags like i do, and you dont want to write on or mark up the bag, you can just use a cool rope with a tag on it showing your face amount. that way when it changes, you can just replace the paper tag rather than having a grafitti bag haha

I like how not only Is it 90% silver but they also have some collectible value along with it being legal tender and they dont make them anymore and they will still hold their value for small barter if the dollar collapses and we go into a crisis. Theres literally absolutely no reason to NOT own junk silver.

Sure, junk is fine to buy. I'm currently buying it, more for diversity purposes than anything else. The premiums are a bit higher than if you were to go with bigger bars, but it keeps things interesting.

I have a question. What about the newer proof sets from the US mint would it be considered as constitutional silver or junk silver once u open it from the hard case. Ive seen newer 90% silver for sale on ebay. Just wonder on your thoughts

proofs demand a huge premium in my opinion-constitutional 90% silver is on ebay but at a high cost after including shipping-for me-20x is max when you get it to your home-in other words a 1964 dime or earlier for 2 bucks i'm buying-1964 quarter or earlier for $4.50 i'm buying-remember 20 times the face value of the coin i'm buying-my local coin shop beats online prices every day

Since 2022 all I have been buying is US, Canadian silver coinage (maybe a maple or eagle once in a blue moon), but dollars, half (50 cents what Canada call em) etc.

I do like 90%, but I don't go crazy on it. If it's a deal I will pick some up. I stack mainly dimes and quarters, pick up between $25 t $50 face a year.

This is a wonderful video about the merits and details of Constitutional Silver! I have one gripe, though: How on Earth can you call anything Constitutional 'junk'?? And I don't care what some supposed 'majority' might think or talk. Pre-1965 silver coins are money, what follows 1964 isn't. That's a Constitutional Fact: No state [...] shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts. (Article 1, Section 10) Constitutional isn't 'junk', and can't be :)

I love Constitutional. You have to watch some of these companies selling it. I bought 4 rolls of Quarters from a reputable national dealer that I won't name. Out of the 4 rolls I ended up with about 3/4 of a roll, mostly standing Liberty quarters with a couple Washingtons, had lost .75 gram of original weight or more. There was one Washington quarter that was 1.7 grams light believe it or not. I assume it was dipped in acid for a while then pulled out, it was a very thin, rough looking quarter. I was new at stacking and it didn't really dawn on me the significance of that at time or I would have said something about it to them. After I did the math it ended up being something like 24 grams of silver, not 24 grams total, but 24 grams of silver. Just watch out when you buy constitutional, acceptable wear is one thing but don't accept horribly light junk.

"Junk Silver" has always been my favorite and the only thing I have stacked since 2017. I love its history and bejng able to just hold it in my hands. Since they no longer make it, I feel that it will eventually command very high premiums. I also like my junk with patina. If it is cleaned, the history aesthetic is pretty much gone.

I stopped buying .999 for about 2 years now but not 80-90%. I see that premiums have dipped a great deal so I rest easy in my decision to walk away as those that bought eagles with 80-90% premium are so stuck with a loss. My junk silver is stored away and will one day be more rarer,

These coins are real silver change, which was once used as money. The newly minted coins and bars have never been used as money.

I always find the term ''Junk silver'' a sad one given many are such beautiful (if generally common and circulated) coins. I like to imagine their story and the hands they must have passed through over time.

My preference is Liberty Half Dollars for the many of the same reasons you like the Mercury dimes.
